Druid cudgels

So basically I never really liked shooting splinters at people. Also cudgels have a dull short description that's the same for both Hartstone and Blacktalon, so I wrote up some new ones based on the old champion artifacts. Thanks to Senna, Narynth, and Sadie for help with them and some person whose name I can't remember for giving me the idea like... a year and half ago.

QUOTE
Hartstone:
This long shaft of silvery, knotted moonhart wood is formed into the shape of a mystic cudgel bursting with verdant life. Waxy green leaves shaped vaguely like antlers sprout along its length, up to a bulbous knot at the end which tapers down to a knobby, rounded tip. The cudgel constantly thrums with a living energy, seeming to call to nearby plant life, encouraging it to grow and renew itself.

Lehki points his cudgel at you, and the ghostly image of a noble stag darts forth from its tip. Deadly antlers drive into your flesh, before it disperses in a silver mist.

The ghostly image of a noble stag charges in from the north, driving deadly antlers into your flesh before dispersing in a silvery mist.

Lehki points his cudgel to the north, sending the ghostly image of noble stag charging into the distance.

Blacktalon:
Carved from the heart of an elder ravenwood tree, veins of dark grain pattern this mystic cudgel. Several feathery fronds sprout from the tip which sway and clack together, chiming like hollow bones. A lively buzzing surrounds the staff as insects of all sorts creep and swarm over its surface, and the noisome stench of decaying plant life mingles with the sharp tang of freshly hewn wood.

Lehki points his cudgel at you, and the inky shadow of a crow erupts forth, diving toward you. Sharp talons tear into your flesh before it disperses in a shadowy mist.

The inky shadow of a crow swoops in from the north, digging its sharp talons into your flesh before fading in a shadowy mist.

I figure Druids who aren't currently specialized in either Crow or Stag could have the current description and attacks.

Ha! You're totally not alone. Expecto patronum! ... or something like that. freaked.gif But it's still good. I do like them.

I totally thought of expecto patronum with the silvery stags but I think this would be a great idea. It has bugged me for a long time that they have the same cudgels and attack messages. Cosmetic variety is always a good thing!
Siam2010-02-20 16:54:01
Well, they've changed the meld messages so let's all hope the admins will add this change to the cudgels!


Expecto patronuuuum!

You cannot escape the Illithoids.
Ayden2010-02-20 21:14:13
Me likie. Make it so!
Jules2010-02-21 06:07:18
Very well written! I definitely approve!

Love it

Thumbs up, man. This looks pretty rockin'.
Everiine2010-02-21 20:10:49
Oh sure, no thanks for me for thanking you for helping me discover a few more artifacts that I didn't know I had access to tongue.gif .

Shortly after that I realized I already had the perfect resources to look at in the old champion artifacts, so nope, no thanks for you. =p
